Did you know that the pay gap between men and women begins right out of college? A recent study conducted by the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation shows that women make about 20 percent less than their male counterparts straight out of college, and that percentage increases over time to about 30 percent after 10 years.

Luckily there are people out there making a difference and doing something about gender inequality, like Amy Sewell and Susan Toffler, co-directors of a recent documentary entitled "What's Your Point, Honey?" The movie puts a new face on political leadership by introducing seven possible contenders from the CosmoGirl Project 2024 internship program, while at the same time revealing inequalities that still exist today.

Now, with inspiration from the movie, Look to the Stars has started a weekly column entitled Honeys We Love, an initiative that profiles men who support gender equality issues. The first Honey to be profiled was Emmy Award-winning musician John Kimbrough. His song "1971" is actually featured in "What's Your Point, Honey?". Visit Look to the Stars to hear a snippet of his song and to learn more about the initiative.

Gender equality is an issue that the CosmoGirl Project 2024 program stands tall for and is working to improve. Have you started any gender equality initiatives recently? Feel free to comment below!
